ok this is going to sound really offensive and i dont mean any offence to anyone!!!

[urgeok]

pointlessly wide scope ?

what the hell ?

Are you saying there is one right answer ?

If cool or not cool is relative only to the announcer (and thus excused as merely opinion) then one could say homosexuals are rubbish.

Rubbish being relative to me by thinking and saying it, I could get away with that one.

Hiding prejudice behind "uncool" is fair enough, but I'm sure in this case most lesbians would disagree with the terminology.

Any lesbians here?

its really this simple.

you make a statement on what is good/cool/acceptable based on your personal feeling about the thing.

There are several billions of peope on the planet all with different perceptions of what is cool.

There is no definitive peramiters for cool except one ..

If you think its cool - it is for you
if you dont - its not for you.

you cannot determine for other people what they think is cool or not.

cool is relative - to you and the people who happen agree with you.

That's an interesting statement - how do you arrive at this conclusion? What other sexual preference is cool by comparison?

None.

It's an inaccurate term for a bold and prejudicial statement - if we are allowed to publicly slate sexual preferences and claim the terminology is relative to the speaker and therefore acceptable it opens the floodgates for further prejudices - Asians are not cool, Christians are uncool, Transsexuals are not particularly cool...

Tastes and perceptions of cool is not the issue - derogatory talk of entire sexualities is.

Lesbianism might "not be for you", but a place where this kind of pointless statement is allowed to fester will soon see further thoughtless and potentially harmful slurs from those keen to overstep the mark and not discuss curious issues without making their prejudices known in the process.

A horror forum filled with kids could probably do without it.

If it's alright for someone to own and wear a t-shirt like that, why couldn't someone wear something that says "I hate lesbians"? If it's accepted to love something, it's just as equally right to hate it, no?

I think I'm gonna get a tshirt that reads "I love polygamist bisexual chicks and I fuck them on a daily basis".

Lesbians aren't particularly cool.

Agreed....no sex or sexual preference is cool or uncool....and when one is put on a pedestal in our society as "cooler" or more hip than others....something as seriously gone a stray....
